But the foreign secretary is David ‘worst pm ever’ Cameron, neither right nor honourable, just a cunt - plain and simple.

Well in that case maybe chat gpt should just fuck off it doesn’t seem to be doing anything particularly useful, and now it’s creator has admitted it doesn’t work without stealing things to feed it. Un fucking believable. Hacks gonna hack I guess.

Pat Finnerty has been out for a while with a back injury, so glad to see he’s back with another full length in time for the holidays. Definitely worth a watch if you’ve not checked him out already. Peace x

Short Eared Owl Propaganda (startrek.website)

as I'm sure you're all aware, the sensational 'owl of the year 2023' competition is currently ongoing, and one of today's second round matchups sees the gigantic snowy owl facing off against the titanic short eared owl (making them both seem normal sized - joke by D. Mitchell & R. Webb, 2004)

I would like to take a moment to thank the short eared owl for having a schedule that lines up with when it's possible to photograph it. So many owls hunt only at night which is very inconsiderate, especially when you consider the weight of camera equipment and the price of train tickets in this economy. The short eared owl is a true Owl of the People (OOP) and as such, deserves your vote.

Please consider some of the following points when casting your vote today: Short eared owl:

  • very nice fellow
  • considerate (see above)
  • useful sleep schedule
  • lovely colouration (looks good in evening light - see photo)
  • definitely wide awake at all times
  • flat at the front, surprising it is still so aerodynamic
  • long wings mean this chap is easily identified as an owl at a distance (misidentification as plump seagul possible)
  • often comes in pairs (friendly)
  • charming

thank you for your attention & for looking at the first (somewhat) successful photograph of an owl i have taken peace lads and lasses x
